I’m highly interested in getting a Framework 13 in the future, but with what’s going on with Intel, I was thinking of waiting for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 or a similar processor to come to it. I could get the current Ryzen 7 series, but since I got to save up for it anyway (and my current laptop is limping along for the time being) I have to wait for about two or so months.
My main question is, about how long does it take for a processor to come out, then Framework to adopt it? I’m just looking at the timeline to expect. Thanks, oh and since I am new this is my first post lol so hello everyone!

Hi and welcome to the forum.
If you check the dates when each laptop was available and when each related processor was available you could get as good a guess as anyone.
Take care

Ah yeah good point.
In my research, it seems like AMD Framework 13 seems to have released in October of 2023, while the Ryzen 7640U and 7840U came out May 3rd of 2023.
The 9 HX 370 released July of 2024, so if that same 5 month release is occurring again seems like it’ll likely come December 2024 or January 2025, which works for me. Thanks!

I’m excited for the strix point, but unfortunately I need a laptop in August/September. But the exciting part of the framework is that I can simply get one now, and later upgrade to the 9 when it becomes available. It’s awesome!

Welcome to the forum.
Yes this ability to update the mainboard is really phenomenal compared to other laptops.
However I bought an early 11th Gen and until it drops out I won’t be ‘upgrading’ but it’s a joy to think all the other parts of this 13" will be compatible.
Really quite amazing.
All the best with your choices
